Installation

Send Noods

Send Noods was part installation, part performance that was a play on words regarding the phrase “send nudes”. I submerged myself in a bathtub full of cooked spaghetti noodles. A camera on a tripod was pointed at me where viewers were able to take a photos of me via a remote shutter. In order to make this performance something less momentary, participants were able to write down their name and address and I sent them postcards of the photo seen above.

Infill

Infill is a video projection that represents Colorado's growing population. Hundreds of thousands of newcomers are flocking to Colorado every year. The milk bottle slowly fills with red sand in order to represent Colorado's interesting history regarding water, water rights, and drought. This is a site specific work created for a class exhibition at the Dairy Block in Denver, CO on June 6th and 7th, 2017.

Chrysalis

Chrysalis is an exploration of expanded cinema that places the viewer in an immersive space to inspire a hypnagogic experience. The visuals digitally explore and expand upon the analog slit-scan technique used in traditional expanded cinema. The viewer is meant to lie on the floor to view the video projected into a dome suspended from the ceiling. Sheer curtains that partition off the viewing area from the exhibition space limit external stimuli. The audio that accompanies Chrysalis is a recording of Nicholas Miller, a jazz guitar student at the University of Denver. In order to further the immersive nature of the work, the audio track is played through headphones.

Dennis Sheedy/The Lion

Dennis Sheedy/The Lion pays homage to the legacy of economic success and growth that Dennis Sheedy left on Denver, suggesting that he was courageous like a lion and helped feed the furnace of the Denver economy.
